Very important - CQC says NHS trusts will be under a duty of candour when they learn of new information that materially changes facts about an incident of serious harm, regardless of when the incident occurred and irrespective of litigation process https://twitter.com/ShaunLintern/status/1335901296700878849

CQC is speaking to @GreatOrmondSt about its handling of 5-year-old Walif Yafi's death. It settled a claim from his parents, denying responsibility, in Sept but admitted to @Independent it had an expert report that said errors did materially contribute to his death #GOSHsafety

A spokesperson for @NHSResolution added: “We always encourage trusts to be entirely open with families, in line with their duty of candour and irrespective of legal privilege. This is the right thing to do and is the best way to learn from events and improve.”
